Mark 4
1 Jesus again began to teach by the sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
Kabhele ajhandili kumanyisya kandokando jha bahari. Ni bhumati mbaha bhwakibhongeniye bhwanzunguiki bhukajhingila mugati mu bhuatu mu bahari, ni kutama. Bhumati bhuoha bhwajhele pembeni mu bahari bhufukweni.
2 Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
Ni kubhafundisya mambo mingi kwa mifuanu, ni kujobha kwa bhene kwa mafundisu ghake.
3 ‘Listen! The sower went out to sow;
Mup'elekesiajhi, mpanzi alotili kupanda.
4 and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
Bhoipanda, baadhi jha mbeyu syabinili munjela, ni fidege fikahida fikalya.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once;
Mbeyu senge syabinili mu muamba, ambako kwa jhelepi ni bhud'opi bhwingi. Mara syajhomili, kwa ndabha syajhelepi ni bhud'opi bhwa kutosya.
6 but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
Lakini lijobha bho lih'omili, syajhomili, na kwandabha syajhelepi ni mizizi, syajhomili.
7 Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
Mbeyu senge syabinili katikati jha mifwa. Mifwa ghyakhotili ghikasizuila, na syahoguili lepi matunda ghoghoha ghala
8 Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
Mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu bhud'opi bhunofu na syahogwili matunda bhwakati syahogwili ni kujhongeseka, s'enge syahoghwili mara thelathini zaidi, ni s'enge sitini, ni s'enge mia”.
9 And Jesus said, ‘Let anyone who has ears to hear with hear.’
Na akajobha, “Jhejhioha jha ajhele ni mbolokoto na apelekayi!”
10 Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
Yesu bho ajhemuene, bhala bhabhajhe karibu nakhu ni bhala kumi ni bhabhele bhakan'kotili kuhusu mifuano.
11 and he said, ‘To you the hidden truth of the kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables so that –
Akabhajobha kwa bhene, “Kwa muenga mupelibhu siri sya bhufalme bhwa K'yara. Lakini kwa bhajhele kwibhala khila khenu mifuanu,
12 “Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; otherwise some day they might turn and be forgiven.”’
ili bhakalangajhi, ndo bhilola, lakini bhilola lepi, ni kwa ejhu pa bhip'eleka, lakini bhijhelebhwa lepi, amasivo bhabhayeli ni K'yara ngaabhasamee.”
13 ‘You do not know the meaning of this parable?’ he went on, ‘Then how will you understand all the other parables?
Na akajobha kwa bhene,” Je mwijhelebhwa lepi mifuano obho? Mwibeta mu bhuli mifuano ghenge?
14 The sower sows the message.
Mpanzi apandili lilobhi.
15 The people meant by the seed that falls along the path are these – where the message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the message that has been sown in them.
Baadhi ndo bhaka bhabhabinili palubhafu mu nj'hela, mahali lilobhi pa lipandibhu. Na bho bhalip'eliki, mara lisyetani likahida ni kulotela lilobhi ambalyo lapandibhu mugati mwa bhene.
16 So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the message, at once accept it joyfully;
Na baadhi ndo bhala bha bhapandibhu panani pa muamba, ambabho pabhakalipheleka lilobhi, manyata bhakalipokela kwa furaha.
17 but, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
Na bhajhelepi ni mizizi ghyoghyoha mugati mwa bhene, lakini bhuvumilivu kwa muda bhufupi. Halafu tabu ni malombosi pafihida kwa ndabha jha lilobhi, mara bhikwikungufula.
18 Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the message,
Na bhangi ndo bhala bhanandibhu mu mifwa, bha kalip'eleka lilobhi,
19 but the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
lakini malombosi gha dunia, bhusiobhi bhwa mali, ni tamaa sya mambo ghangi ghakabhajhingila ni kulijhoghaniya lilobhi na lisindwa kuhogola matunda. (aiōn g165)
20 But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.’
Kisha bhajhele bhala ambabho bhapandibhu mu bhud'opi bhunofu. Bhikalipeleka lilobhi nikulipokela ni kuhogola matunda: baadhi thelathini, ni baadhi sitini, ni baadhi miamoja.”
21 Jesus said to them, ‘Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under the couch, instead of being put on the lamp-stand?
Yesu akabhajobhela,”Je huwa ghwilela taa mugati mu nyumba ni kujhibheka basi pa kind'onga au pasi pa kitanda? Jhiletibhwa mugati ni kubhekibhwa panani pa kiango.
22 There is nothing hidden that will not come to light and nothing is concealed that will not be brought into the open.
Kwa kujha kyalepi khenu kyokyoha kyakikifighili ambakyo kibetalepi kumanyikana na jhijhelepi siri ambayo jhibetalepi kubhakibhwa bhwasi.
23 Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
Akajhelayi mwenye mb'olokoto na apelekajhi!”
24 ‘Take care what you listen to,’ said Jesus. ‘The standard you use will be used for you, and more will be added for you.
Akabhajobhela,”Mujhelayi makini kwa khela kya mukakip'eleka, kwa kujha kup'emu kya mwip'ema, ndo kyamwibeta kup'emibhwa na jhibetakujhongesibhwa kwa muenga.
25 For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’
Kwandabha muene jha ajhe nakhu ibetakukabha zaidi, na jhola jha abelili kujha nakhu ibetakunyakibhwa ni fela fidebe fya aj'he nakhu.”
26 Jesus also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like – like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
Na akajobha, “Bhufalme bhwa K'yara bhufananisibhu ni munu jha apandili mbeyu mu bhud'opi.
27 and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing – he knows not how.
Bho alili pakilu ni kujhumuka lukhela, ni mbeyu sikachipula ni kukhola ingawa amanyilepi Kya jhitokili.
28 The ground bears the crop of itself – first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
Dunia jhipisya mbeyu jhiene; kwanza matondo, halafu maua, halafu mbeyu syasikomele.
29 but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he puts in the sickle because harvest has come.’
Ni bhwakati mbeyu pa jhibetakujha jhifundili mara jhipelekibhwa mundu, kwa ndabha mavuno ghawadili.”
30 Jesus also said, ‘To what can we liken the kingdom of God?
Na akajobha, “tubhufananisiajhi bhufalme bhwa K'yara ni khenu gani, au titumilajhi mfuanu bholoki kubhujhelesela?
31 By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
Ni Kama mbeyu jha haradali, ambapo bho jhipandibhu jhidusu kuliko mbeyu sioha paduniani.
32 yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’
Hata, bhwakati jhipandibhu, j'hikhola ni kujha mbaha zaidi jha mimea ghioha ghya pa bustani, na jhibhomba matafi mabhaha hata fidege fya kumbinguni fibhwesya kubhomba fisuisi fya kubhene mu kivuli lyake.”
33 With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his message, as far as they were able to receive it;
Kwa mifuanu mingi jhafundisi na ajobhili lilobhi kwa bhene Kwa kadiri kyabhabhwesili kujhelebhwa,
34 and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
na ajobhili lepi nabhu bila mifano. Lakini bhwakati bho ajhele muene, akabhajhelesya kila khenu bhanafunzi bha muene.
35 In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go across.’
Mu ligono e'lu, bhwakati bhwa kimihi bho bhufikili kwa bhene, “Tubhoki lubhafu longi”.
36 So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.
Hivyo bhakabhuleka bhumati, bhakan'tola Yesu, bhwakati obhu bhajhele mugati mu bhuatu, Miatu jhenge jhajhele pamonga ni muene.
37 A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
Ni mpongo bhukali bhwa linyegha bhukajha bhwijhingisya masi mu bhuatu ni bhuatu tayari bhwa melili masi.
38 Jesus was in the stern asleep on the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried, ‘Teacher! Is it nothing to you that we are lost?’
Lakini Yesu muene ajhele mu shetri, agonili mu mto, bhakan'jobhela, bhakajhanda kun'jhumusiya, “Mwalimu, ghwijali lepi tete twifwa?”
39 Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Hush! Be still!’ Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
Na akajhumuka akabhukemela mp'ongo ni kujhijobhela bahari, “' J'higudamayi amani”. Mp'ongo ukagudama, na kwajhele ni bhutulivu ghubhakibhu.
40 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he exclaimed. ‘Have you no faith yet?’
Na akabhajobhela, “Kwa ndabha jha kiki mwitila? Je mjhelepi ni imani bado?”
41 But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?’
Bhajhingilibhu ni hofu mbaha mugati mwa bhene na bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Ojho niani kabhele, kwa ndabha hata mp'ongo ghwa bhahari bhukan'tii?”.
